Dissecting the complex genetic basis of mate choice.

Nature reviews. Genetics - 1 Sept 2006

Chenoweth Stephen F, Blows Mark W

Abstract excerpt

The genetic analysis of mate choice is fraught with difficulties. Males produce complex signals and displays that can consist of a combination of acoustic, visual, chemical and behavioural phenotypes. Furthermore, female preferences for these male traits are notoriously difficult to quantify. During mate choice, genes not only affect the phenotypes of the individual they are in, but can influence the expression...
